feat(pipeline): structural metadata end-to-end (Blocks D2-D4)

D2: RAG service stores section/section_title/paragraph/paragraph_num/page
from embedding service chunks_with_metadata into Qdrant payloads.

D3: Control generator prefers section > article > section_title from
Qdrant, adds page to source_citation and generation_metadata.

D4: Validated with real BGB §§ 312-312k text. Found and fixed critical
bug where Phase 3 overlap destroyed the [§ ...] section prefix, causing
only the first chunk per document to have metadata. All subsequent
chunks lost section info.

Also fixes pre-existing lint issues (unused imports, ambiguous variable
names, duplicate dict key, bare except).

456 tests passing (58 embedding + 387 pipeline + 11 rag-service).
